OwnerView Conference Moved to Lexington Nov. 2-5

OwnerView announced July 24 that the seventh Thoroughbred Owner Conference, originally scheduled July 19-22 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., has been rescheduled and will be held in Lexington Nov. 2-5 to coincide with the Breeders' Cup. The Breeders' Cup will be held November 6-7 at Keeneland.

"While we were disappointed that we were unable to host this year's Thoroughbred Owner Conference in Saratoga Springs, we are delighted to be able to bring the owner conference back to Lexington, the 'Horse Capital of the World,' during the week of the Breeders' Cup," said Gary Falter, project manager for OwnerView." We are thankful for the support and flexibility of the New York Racing Association and the Breeders' Cup."

The rescheduled owner conference will be held at the Embassy Suites on Newtown Pike in Lexington. The conference agenda includes nine panels on topics including the economics of racehorse ownership, syndicates, safety reforms, aftercare, and diversity. The conference will open Nov. 2 with an evening reception at The Kentucky Castle. Other social events include a conference dinner at the Fasig-Tipton sales grounds and tours of stallion farms.

This year's owner conference will offer a new registration option for virtual attendance. A virtual conference registration enables access to all business panels and the ability to participate in question and answer sessions for those panels.  

For guests who attend the owner conference in person, social-distancing protocols will be in place, including limiting the number of guests seated at tables and increased spacing of tables. OwnerView will be continually monitoring the status of COVID-19. If an in-person conference is deemed unsafe, in-person registrations will be refunded or converted to a virtual registration.  

More information about the conference, including the full schedule of events and registration, is available on the OwnerView website.
